Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a warp knitted fabric, and more particularly to a warp knitted fabric in which slits are formed along the warp yarns. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a lumbar supporter with slits formed therein. The technology shown in Patent Document 1 is a lumbar supporter consisting of a single band-like body that is stretchable in the left-right direction and has both ends that can be attached and detached with hook-and-loop fasteners, and that supports the area around the user's pelvis, and the supporter has a central section that, when in use, faces the posterior part of the user's sacrum to support it, and side sections that are provided on the left and right of the central section and support the area around the user's ilium, and each of the side sections has multiple short slits formed on the top and bottom that extend from the central section toward the hook-and-loop fastener so as to cross the user's gluteus medius muscle, and moreover, approximately in the center in the up-down direction of the side sections and the central section, a single long slit is formed that extends left-right and continues from one side section to the other.

[0003] If a slit is left cut when forming a slit in a single piece of fabric, as in the technology shown in Patent Document 1, the thread will come loose from the cut. For this reason, the cut line is generally sewn or otherwise prevented from coming loose, but this requires a lot of work and effort.

[0004] Furthermore, in the case of a waist support such as that shown in Patent Document 1, when supporting the area around the user's pelvis, the support is fixed to the body using a hook-and-loop fastener, but the loop and hook surfaces of the hook-and-loop fastener must be sewn together separately, which is problematic as it requires a lot of work and effort.

[0005] Regarding hook-and-loop fasteners, for example, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 is disclosed. The technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 relates to a stretch woven fabric for bandages that includes warp yarns, which are warp yarns that form one surface of the fabric together with weft yarns, pile yarns that float on multiple weft yarns adjacent in the warp direction and form loops on the other surface of the fabric, and elastic yarns that impart stretchability in the warp direction, and that has a maximum elongation in the warp direction of the fabric of 40% to 80%.

[0006] The technology disclosed in Patent Document 2 forms loops with pile yarn when forming the woven fabric, and these function as the loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-136854 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-078228 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] As shown in Patent Document 1, when slitting fabric, the cut portion needs to be sewn, which is extremely time-consuming. In particular, when forming slits in warp-knitted fabric, it may be necessary to cut the weft yarn midway, which poses a problem of accelerating the unraveling of the fabric.

[0009] The technology shown in Patent Document 2 can form the loop surface of a hook-and-loop fastener at the same time as forming the woven fabric, but it is not a technology for forming a loop surface on a warp-knitted fabric, nor is it a technology for forming a loop surface on a single piece of fabric at the same time as forming a slit.

[0010] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a warp knitted fabric that is knitted by warp knitting and has slits formed therein that do not unravel and do not require any additional sewing work, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The warp knitted fabric of the present invention is a warp knitted fabric knitted by warp knitting, and has a warp knit structure knitted with multiple warp yarns in the wale direction, a weft yarn inserted into the warp knit structure in the course direction, passing through multiple wales, and a slit formed along the warp knit structure between a first wale in which the warp knit structure is knitted and a second wale adjacent to the first wale, and in the outer regions at both ends of the slit in the longitudinal direction, the weft yarn is inserted passing through the warp knit structures of the first wale and the second wale, and in the inner regions at both ends of the slit in the longitudinal direction, the weft yarn is inserted by folding back in the warp knit structure including the first wale or by folding back in the warp knit structure including the second wale.

[0012] In this way, in the warp knitted fabric of the present invention, a warp knit structure is formed using multiple warp threads in the wale direction, a weft thread is inserted into the warp knit structure in the course direction through the multiple wales, and a slit is formed along the warp knit structure between adjacent first and second wales, and in the outer regions at both ends of the slit in the longitudinal direction, the weft thread is inserted through the warp knit structure of the first and second wales, and in the inner regions at both ends of the slit in the longitudinal direction, the weft thread is inserted by folding back in the warp knit structure including the first wale or by folding back in the warp knit structure including the second wale, thereby achieving the effect of efficiently forming a slit in the direction along the warp threads of the warp knit structure, minimizing deterioration due to unraveling, even though there is no need to apply additional sewing to the slit portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] (First embodiment of the present invention) The warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment has a slit formed along the warp knitted structure while a weft yarn is inserted into the warp knitted structure. This slit does not unravel at the slit, so no additional reinforcement by sewing or the like is required. Furthermore, if necessary, a loop capable of functioning as the loop surface of a hook-and-loop fastener is formed on one side of the single piece of warp knitted fabric in which the slit is formed.

[0015] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the knitting structure of the plain portion, slit portion, and pile portion of the warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment. Warp knitted fabric 1 is formed as a belt-like fabric in which a warp knitted structure formed with warp yarns is continuously formed in the wale direction (the vertical direction of the drawings in Figs. 1 and 2), and weft yarns are inserted in the course direction (the horizontal direction of the drawings in Figs. 1 and 2).

[0016] The warp knitted fabric 1 has a plain portion 2 that forms the base of the fabric, a slit portion 3 in which slits 3a are formed along the warp knitting structure, and a pile portion 4 in which loop surfaces 4a of a hook-and-loop fastener are formed. Details will be described later, but as shown in Figure 2, for example, one warp yarn knits one warp knitting structure in the wale direction, and multiple warp yarns knit different warp knitting structures. A weft yarn is inserted through multiple wales into this warp knitting structure. By changing the knitting patterns of these warp and weft yarns, the plain portion 2, slit portion 3, and pile portion 4 can be formed into a single piece of warp knitted fabric 1. The knitting patterns of each portion will be described in detail below.

[0017] Fig. 3 is a development of the knitting of the plain portion of the warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment, and Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the knitting structure of the plain portion of the warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment. In the development of Fig. 3, a base chain yarn L1 forms a first warp knit structure using chain stitches, a pile yarn L2 for forming loops (described later in Figs. 7 and 8) forms a second warp knit structure using similar chain stitches, and polyurethane L3, which gives stretch to the warp knitted fabric 1, is inserted alternately left and right for each course to form a third warp knit structure. Two weft yarns L4 and L5 are inserted into these first to third warp knit structures, and the weft yarns L4 and L5 are inserted so as to intersect while passing through multiple wales. Specifically, in Fig. 3, the weft yarns L4 and L5 are inserted alternately left and right, passing through five wales per course.

[0018] In the plain portion 2, as shown in Fig. 4, one weft L4, L5 is inserted in each wale (excluding the wales around the area where the slit 3a is formed and the wales at the edge of the fabric), in principle. In other words, five wefts L4, L5 are inserted in each course for each wale.

[0019] Strictly speaking, in the knitting structure of Fig. 4, a plurality of each of the base chain yarn L1 and pile yarn L2 (for example, three each) are knitted while forming loops on the front and back and on the left and right, and therefore the knitting structure of Fig. 4 also includes yarns other than the knitting yarns shown in the development diagram of Fig. 3. Therefore, the knitting yarns shown in Fig. 3 are the minimum necessary, and in reality, a warp knitting structure is formed by combining a plurality of knitting yarns in a complex manner as shown in Fig. 4.

[0020] Fig. 5 is a development of the knitting of a slit portion in a warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment, and Fig. 6 is a diagram showing the knitting structure of the slit portion in the warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment. In the development of Fig. 5, the slit portion 3 uses the same warp and weft yarns as the plain portion 2, but the number of wales penetrated by weft yarns L4 and L5 is different. In the plain portion 2, weft yarns L4 and L5 penetrate five wales, but in the slit portion 3, they penetrate three wales. The slit 3a is formed by utilizing an area with fewer penetrating wales compared to the plain portion 2. The structure of the weft yarns L4 and L5 will be described in detail.

[0021] In Fig. 6, a slit 3a is formed between a first wale 6a and a second wale 6b. The region where the slit 3a is formed, i.e., the region corresponding to the slit portion 3, is defined as an inner region R1, and the region outside the end of the slit 3a where the slit is not formed, i.e., the region corresponding to the plain portion 2, is defined as an outer region R2. In the inner region R1, weft yarns L4 and L5 are inserted so as not to pass through the slit 3a, while in the outer region R2, weft yarns L4 and L5 are inserted so as to pass through the first wale 6a and the second wale 6b. That is, in the inner region R1, the weft yarns L4 and L5 knitted in one region across the slit 3a (for example, the region to the right of the slit 3a in Fig. 6) are folded back and inserted at the second wale 6b on the right side of the slit 3a, and the weft yarns L4 and L5 knitted in the other region across the slit 3a (for example, the region to the left of the slit 3a in Fig. 6) are folded back and inserted at the first wale 6a on the left side of the slit 3a.

[0022] In the case of Fig. 6, similarly to the knitting structure of Fig. 4, multiple base chain yarns L1 and multiple pile yarns L2 are knitted while forming loops on the front and back and left and right, and therefore the knitting structure of Fig. 6 also includes yarns other than the knitting yarns shown in the development view of Fig. 5. Therefore, the knitting yarns shown in Fig. 5 are the minimum necessary, and in reality, a warp knitted structure is knitted by combining multiple knitting yarns in a complex manner as shown in Fig. 6.

[0023] In this way, when the slit portion 3 is knitted by warp knitting, the number of wales through which the wefts L4, L5 pass is made different between the inner region R1 and the outer region R2, and in the inner region R1, the wefts L4, L5 are knitted so as to be folded back in the wales just before they reach the slit 3a, while in the outer region R2, the wefts are knitted so as to pass through the wales on both sides of the slit 3a, making it possible to form the plain portion 2 and the slit portion 3 in one piece of warp knitted fabric 1. In this case, it is only necessary to adjust the number of wales through which the wefts L4, L5 pass, so it is possible to form the plain portion 2 and the slit portion 3 in a single process, simplifying the work process and significantly improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0024] As shown in Figure 6, in the plain area 2 and pile area 4 corresponding to the outer area R2, the knitting between the first wale 6a and the second wale 6b on either side of the slit 3a inevitably has fewer weft yarns than the other wales, and therefore appears as a single line.

[0025] FIG. 7 is a development of the knitting of the pile portion in the warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the knitting structure of the pile portion in the warp knitted fabric according to this embodiment. In the development of FIG. 7, the pile portion 4 uses the same warp and weft yarns as the plain portion 2, but the second warp knit structure knitted with pile yarn L2 is different. In the plain portion 2, the pile yarn L2 is chain stitched, but in the pile portion 4, it is single Denbigh stitched. Specifically, in the first course, the pile yarn L2 is thrown across the knitting needles to simultaneously create loops, and in the next course, the pile yarn L2 is guided to each adjacent knitting needle, and this process is repeated left and right, so that the pile yarn L2 forms loops. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the pile yarn L2 is knitted diagonally in each course between different wales, so that when the polyurethane L3 shrinks, it inevitably becomes looped, forming a loop surface 4a.

[0026] In the case of Fig. 8, similarly to the knitting structure of Fig. 4, multiple base chain yarns L1 and multiple pile yarns L2 are knitted while forming loops on the front and back and left and right, and therefore the knitting structure of Fig. 8 also includes yarns other than the knitting yarns shown in the developed view of Fig. 7. Therefore, the knitting yarns shown in Fig. 7 are the minimum necessary, and in reality, a warp knitted structure is formed by combining multiple knitting yarns in a complex manner, as shown in Fig. 8. In particular, in Fig. 8, if three pile yarns L2 are used, one or two of them are chain knitted and the rest are single Denbigh knitted to form loops.

[0027] In this way, in addition to knitting the above-mentioned plain portion 2 and slit portion 3, the pile portion 4 can be knitted into a single piece of warp knitted fabric in a single process. Therefore, for example, when knitting a lumbar supporter as described below, the functionality can be improved while the structure can be simplified and the efficiency of the manufacturing process can be improved.

[0028] 3 to 8, the warp knitted fabric is knitted with three warp yarns and two weft yarns, but the number of warp yarns and weft yarns used and the types of these yarns are not limited to those described above and can be selected arbitrarily depending on the intended use of the product. The first to third warp knitted structures knitted with the warp yarns are also not limited to these, and different warp knitted structures may be used. Furthermore, the number of wales through which the weft yarn passes is not limited to 5 wales or 3 wales, as long as the number of wales through which the weft yarn passes in the inner region R1 is less than the number of wales through which the weft yarn passes in the outer region R2.

[0029] (Second embodiment of the present invention) The supporter according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 9 and 10. The supporter according to this embodiment is a waist supporter using the warp knitted fabric 1 according to the first embodiment, and supports the waist and buttocks of the wearer by wrapping and fastening the single piece of warp knitted fabric 1, on which a flat portion 2, a slit portion 3 and a pile portion 4 are formed, around the waist and buttocks of the wearer.

[0030] Fig. 9 is a front view of the supporter according to this embodiment, and Fig. 10 is a side view of the supporter according to this embodiment when worn. The waist supporter 10 has a slit portion 3 formed therein that contacts the wearer's waist and buttocks to support the muscles and fat of the waist and buttocks, a flat portion 2 connected to both left and right ends of the slit portion 3, a pile portion 4 having a hook-and-loop surface 4a of a hook-and-loop fastener sewn to either the front or back surface of a partial region of either the left or right side of the flat portion 2, and a hook portion 11 having a hook-and-loop surface 11a of a hook-and-loop fastener sewn to either the front or back surface of a partial region of the other side of the flat portion 2. In Fig. 9, the horizontal direction of the drawing is the wale direction, and the vertical direction is the course direction.

[0031] The wearer puts on lumbar supporter 10 by fastening it around the waist and buttocks. At this time, it is worn so that slit portion 3 abuts against the wearer's waist and buttocks, and flat portion 2 is wrapped around the wearer's body. The wearer puts on lumbar supporter 10 by engaging loop surface 4a of pile portion 4 with hook surface 11a of hook portion 11 in front of the body.

[0032] Slits 3b and 3c are knitted in the slit portion 3 by the same knitting method as the warp knitted fabric 1 described in the first embodiment. These slits 3b and 3c are formed so as to divide the slit portion 3 into approximately three equal parts, above and below. The upper band 31, middle band 32 and lower band 33 divided by slits 3b and 3c are positioned so as to support the top of the wearer's pelvis, the buttocks and the bottom of the buttocks, respectively, as shown in Figure 10.

[0033] The upper belt 31 tightens above the wearer's pelvis, suppressing unnecessary movement and supporting the lower back, thereby reducing fatigue. The middle belt 32 tightens around the wearer's buttocks, reducing muscle and fat movement in the buttocks and reducing fatigue, while also achieving a slimmer buttocks. The lower belt 33 tightens around the wearer's buttocks, supporting the fat in the buttocks from below and preventing sagging, while also achieving a slimmer buttocks. The slits (3b, 3c) between the belts (31, 32, 33) prevent the belts from interfering with muscle and fat movement when the wearer stands or sits, allowing for smooth standing and sitting even while wearing the lumbar supporter 10.

[0034] As described above, the supporter according to this embodiment has a multifunctional structure that can be expected to provide the effects described above, yet can be efficiently manufactured through a very simple process of knitting a series of warp knitted fabrics in one piece and sewing on the hook surfaces.

[0035] In this embodiment, the slit portion 3 is divided into three equal parts by forming slits 3b and 3c, but it is sufficient if the slit portion 3 can be divided into two or more equal parts by forming at least one slit.

[0036] (Third embodiment of the present invention) The supporter according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12. The supporter according to this embodiment is a knee supporter using the warp knitted fabric 1 according to the first embodiment, in which one end of the single piece of warp knitted fabric 1, having a plain portion 2, a slit portion 3, and a pile portion 4 formed therein, is fixed to the waist of the wearer while the other end is fixed below the knee, and the contractility of the warp knitted fabric 1 is used to lift and support the knee.

[0037] Fig. 11 is a front view of the supporter according to this embodiment, and Fig. 12 is a diagram showing the supporter according to this embodiment being worn. Knee supporter 20 uses warp knitted fabric 1 according to the first embodiment, and one end is fixed to the wearer's waist. As a fixing method, for example, as shown in Fig. 11, fixing parts 21 are attached by sewing or hook-and-loop fastener to the slit part 3 or flat part 2 of waist supporter 10 described above in the second embodiment. In this way, when waist supporter 10 is worn by a wearer, one end of knee supporter 20 is fixed to the wearer's waist by fixing part 21.

[0038] The knee supporter 20 of this embodiment is not limited to being fixed by being attached to the waist supporter 10 as shown in Figure 11, but may also be fixed by being attached to, for example, a belt, pants, underwear, tops, waist bag, etc. that has the function of being fastened to the wearer's waist.

[0039] In Figure 11, the knee supporter 20 has the above-mentioned fixed part 21, a belt-shaped first knee support part 22 that is connected at one end to the fixed part 21 and supports one of the wearer's knees (the right knee in Figure 11), and a second knee support part 23 that is arranged in parallel to the first knee support part 22, connected at one end to the fixed part 21 in the same way as the first knee support part 22, and supports the wearer's other knee (the left knee in Figure 11).

[0040] A slit 22a of a predetermined length is formed along the longitudinal direction at the tip of the first knee support 22 on the side opposite to the side connected to the fixed part 21. This slit 22a is formed over a predetermined length from the most distal end of the first knee support 22, and therefore the tip of the first knee support 22 is bifurcated by this slit 22a into a first tip 221 and a second tip 222.

[0041] A loop surface 4a of the pile portion 4 is formed in the tip region of either the first tip portion 221 or the second tip portion 222 (the first tip portion 221 in the case of FIG. 11). This loop surface is formed on either the front or back surface of the first tip portion 221. A hook surface 11a for engaging with the loop surface 4a is formed on the other side of the tip portion (the second tip portion 222 in the case of FIG. 11). This hook surface 11a is formed on the back surface of the second tip portion 222 when the loop surface is formed on the front surface side of the first tip portion 221, and is formed on the front surface side of the second tip portion 222 when the loop surface is formed on the back surface side of the first tip portion 221. The hook surface is formed by sewing, not knitting, as in the second embodiment.

[0042] The first tip portion 221 and the second tip portion 222, on which such loop surface 4a and hook surface 11a are formed, are fastened below the knees of the wearer, as shown in Fig. 12. That is, because the warp knitted fabric 1 has contractibility in the wale direction (the longitudinal direction of the first knee support portion 22), it supports the wearer's knees by lifting them from below, starting from the fixed point at the waist, thereby reducing the burden on the knees and assisting knee bending and stretching. In particular, when bending the waist to sit or stand up, the knee supporter 20 stretches and is pulled, making it possible to support the knees and reduce the burden.

[0043] The second knee support part 23 has basically the same structure as the first knee support part 22. Specifically, the tip part is bifurcated by a slit 23a into a third tip part 231 and a fourth tip part 232, and a loop surface 4a of the pile part is formed in one tip region (third tip part 231 in the case of Figure 11). A hook surface 11a is sewn to the other tip region (fourth tip part 232 in the case of Figure 11). This hook surface 11a is sewn to the side opposite to the loop surface 4a of the third tip part 231. When worn, as shown in Figure 12, it functions to support both knees of the wearer together with the first knee support part 22.

[0044] The first and second distal ends 221 and 222 of the first knee support section 22 and the third and fourth distal ends 231 and 232 of the second knee support section 23 may extend directly from the wearer's waist and fasten with hook-and-loop fasteners at the knee-lower portion, or they may cross over the back of the thigh and fasten with hook-and-loop fasteners so as to wrap around the knee-lower portion, as shown in FIG. 12 . In the latter case, the distal ends cross over the back of the thigh, strengthening the support force for the thigh and knee and enabling comprehensive support of the muscles from the thigh to the knee. In this case, the crossing points of the distal ends may be sewn in advance to prevent them from coming off. This improves the fit.

[0045] In the above, the knee support 20 is fixed to the waist of the wearer, but it may also be fixed to the front side of the wearer (around the lower abdomen). In this case, by first wrapping each end around the back of the thigh, crossing them there, and then wrapping them again around the front below the knee and fastening them, it is possible to provide stronger support for the thighs and knees.
